The average salary among male employees - who make up 53 per cent of the White House staff - is almost $USD104,000 (roughly $AU136,000), while women are earning $US83,000 ($AU108,000).

There’s one major reason for this, CNN reports: more women than men are working in lower-ranking positions. A White House official told the New York Post that women of “equal rank are paid as much as men”

However, there are some notable exceptions. The salary report revealed 22 of President Donald Trump’s aides are raking in a cool $US179,700, six of whom are women - including senior counsellor Kellyanne Conway and director of communications Omarosa Manigault.

At the opposite end of the pay spectrum, there’s Ivanka Trump. The first daughter and “advisor” to the president opted to forgo her White House salary altogether, as did her husband and fellow advisor Jared Kushner.
